Extract

When radioactive waste is disposed in a salt dome, it is important to evaluate the hydrologic stability of the dome. It depends on the dissolution rate of the dome, which again is determined by the transport and dispersion properties of the cap rock and the other formations surrounding the dome. The same properties are also required in safety assessment work for calculation of migration of radionuclides, which might be released from the dome to the surrounding strata.
